CpG density and epigenetic modification state modulate DNA mechanics, altering its intrinsic compatibility with nucleosome formation.

Research into how a father’s choices — such as diet, exercise, stress, nicotine use — may transfer traits to his children has ...

Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, uses a sophisticated tactic to evade the human body's defense ...

A study by the Federal University of São Paulo describes how SARS-CoV-2 interacts with the RNA of infected lung cells in an unprecedented way. The results may guide the search for new treatments and ...

Researchers have found that women who consume more ultra-processed foods exhibit widespread differences in DNA methylation, suggesting early biological changes that may explain how diet leaves a ...

EVOFLUx uses DNA methylation fluctuations as molecular barcodes to trace tumor evolution, offering insights into growth, treatment resistance, and prognosis. The method requires only bulk methylation ...

Summary: A new study has uncovered abnormal DNA methylation patterns in the dorsal raphe, an area of the brain critical for serotonin signaling, in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). By ...

DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that regulates genome function and plays key roles in development and disease 1. It is linked to a broad range of conditions, including ...

This study provides valuable findings on the role of site-specific DNA methylation changes during spermatogenesis and their contribution to paternal epigenetic inheritance. The study proposes that ...
